About The Kurono Tokyo Calendrier Type I

The Kurono Calendrier ‘Type I’ is designed by master watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, introducing a full calendar watch featuring a traditional coin-edged bezel. It was made for a noble explorer, simultaneously deeply rooted in his love of the classic romanticism of the art-deco era.

Its intentional design encourages and welcomes scratches to be worn frequently and gain characteristics as time goes by. Its design intent is for it to be worn regularly and to develop character over time – a design that allows for and embraces scratches. Hajime Asaoka, once said that:

“Blemishes accumulated are unique to the wearer and is a written record of his journey and adventures through life. Owners should spend their time in meaningful pursuits rather than worry about scratches. Hence the design embraces such blemishes, adds character, and looks better over time.”

The ‘Type I’ design of Calendrier has been carefully crafted to highlight the balance of the dial and the depth of the Kurono hands. The watch is designed to bring a feeling of refined adventure, featuring a shiny coin edge bezel and a khaki dial paired with bold, vintage black-lettered text to create a strong, military-inspired look. The detailed guilloche sub-dials and polished hands hint at the complex mechanics of its triple calendar, while the railway-style minute markers around the edge add to the classic vibe.
